The Wi-Fi Alliance has announced that it is planning to make Wi-Fi naming simpler with the upcoming launch of the newest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ax.
As such, the 802.11ax standard will be known as “Wi-Fi 6”, making it easier to differentiate between 802.11ax, 802.11ac, and 802.11n.
With the launch of Wi-Fi 6, 802.11ac will be known as “Wi-Fi 5,” while 802.11n will be known as “Wi-Fi 4.”
